    Hiking to the summit of Mt. Washburn provides spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Along the way, you will pass through beautiful meadows and forests, and may encounter bison, elk, and bears.

    There are two trailheads to Mt. Washburn – from Dunraven Pass or Chittenden Road. We recommend doing it out and back from Dunraven Pass (check AllTrails link) as it is easier and more scenic. You can also start at one trailhead and finish at the other, but then you'll need to figure out your car logistics since the trailheads are located quite far from each other.

    The hike to the summit of Mt. Washburn is around 7 miles round trip, with an elevation gain of approximately 1,400 feet. Once you reach the summit, you will be rewarded with stunning 360-degree views of the park, including the Yellowstone River, Hayden Valley, and the Grand Tetons in the distance. It is a great spot to take a break, enjoy a snack, and take in the stunning scenery.
